Schleich 14746 Gepardin

The attention to detail on this Gepardin's body is fantastic—you can really see the sleek, muscular build that lets them sprint. My daughter studied the long legs and compared them to a cheetah video we watched, which made it a fun learning toy too.

My kids love racing this Gepardin against our toy cars, and it's amazing how realistic the long legs look in a sprint pose. The speed description in the package really got them interested in learning about real cheetahs.

The paint job on this little cheetah is surprisingly detailed for the price — the spots and slim body really capture how fast these animals are. My daughter loves that it can stand on its own while she sets up her toy safari, and it’s already survived a few tumbles off the shelf.
